These garlic and spice plantain chips are a delicious and healthy snack option. They're perfect for when you're craving something savory and crunchy, but don't want the guilt that comes with traditional potato chips. The best part? They're baked, not fried, so you can indulge without sacrificing your health goals. Plus, they're vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, making them a great option for those with dietary restrictions.

Plantains are a type of fruit that are similar to bananas, but they are larger and have a thicker skin. They are a good source of potassium, vitamin C, and fiber. When ripe, they have a sweet flavor and can be used in desserts or snacks. But for this recipe, we'll be using green plantains, which have a more starchy and savory flavor, making them perfect for our garlic and spice chips.

The spices used in this recipe give the plantain chips a delicious kick. The garlic powder adds a savory note, while the paprika, cumin, and ground pepper bring a subtle heat and depth of flavor. These chips are a great snack on their own, but they also pair well with dips like hummus or guacamole. So, if you're looking for a tasty and healthy snack option, give these garlic and spice plantain chips a try!

Ingredients

  •  plantains 
  • Tbs olive oil 
  • tsp garlic powder 
  • 0.5 tsp paprika 
  • 0.5 tsp cumin 
  • 0.3 tsp ground pepper 
  • 0.5 tsp salt 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • baking paper
  • oven

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Cut off both ends of the plantains. Make a cut along the entire length of a plantain, and peel off the skin.
  3. Slice each plantain into thin slices. Dont worry if the slices are not perfect.
  4. Place the plantains in a medium-sized bowl.
  5. Mix in all the other ingredients and stir until everything is well incorporated.
  6. Place the plantain slices on the baking sheets in a single layer.
  7. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, flipping them at about the 8- or 9-minute mark. Because of the uneven heat distribution in my oven, I also like to swap the baking sheets between the top and bottom racks.
  8. Remove the chips from the oven when the edges turn into a nice golden brown color.
